Five Oaks Natural Monument
Highlight • Natural Monument
The five oaks probably originate from the Napoleonic period (approx. 200 years) and grew out of an oak stick as a natural rash. On the occasion of a timber harvest that took place earlier, they simply remained standing for unknown reasons and were later preserved by the State Forestry Administration as special splendid specimens to this day. In the technical language of the foresters they are referred to as "oaks - overholding". Just like the “Zwieseleiche” standing on our “Weg deswassers” and the “Big Oak” near Buttnich, these trees are considered natural monuments in the Büschfeld Forest that are particularly worthy of preservation.

View over the Prims Valley from Kälberfels
Highlight • Viewpoint
To the right in the foreground are the sports facilities of the Büschfeld sports clubs, as well as the residential area in Lihr. In the foreground, the Prims stream can be seen, which rises at the foot of the Erbeskopf massif near Thiergarten and flows for approximately 68 km before emptying into the Saar River near Dillingen. 300 meters downstream, the Losheimer Bach flows into the Prims, its sweeping valley with the villages of Überlosheim, Nunkirchen, and Losheim clearly visible. The horizon is largely defined by the ridges of the Schwarzwälder Hochwald (Black Forest High Forest), over which the border with Rhineland-Palatinate runs. Source of text: Information panel

Buchstabenfels (Weiserley)
Highlight • Natural Monument
The official name of this mighty rock face over the course of the Prims is "Weiserley" (white stone). A legend that goes back to the time of the Thirty Years' War is entwined around the rock made of melaphyr. After one of the many battles that were also fought here, a German rider was on a rally to Tholey when he was caught by Swedish soldiers. His escape came to an abrupt end at the edge of the cliff facing the Prims. With the enemies and the sure death in the neck, the rider gave his horse the spurs and threw himself over the rock into the prims. As if by a miracle, the rider was unharmed, but his horse died. To commemorate his salvation, he carved his story into the rock. Many years later, the characters are said to have been rediscovered during the construction of the railway, giving the rock its current name. Source text: information board

Junger Hirschkopf (Young Stag Head) rock formation
Highlight • Natural Monument
The "Junge Hirschkopf" nature reserve, which stretches to the left of the Prims between Säugrube andiefenfels, is characterized by gorge forests rich in precious wood. The steep slopes accompanying the valley and bizarre rock spurs belong geologically to the Upper Red Lying (also called Wadern layers), a conglomerate rock from the Permian Age. Due to the rare plants, ferns, mosses and lichens that still exist here, the area was placed under nature protection in 1989. Source text: information board

Once again, it was pure hiking pleasure, and only the final descent (in the recommended direction) was unpleasantly steep and, despite the rope safety, not exactly "pleasant" to walk.

"Between Prims and Sollbach, you hike along romantic paths past natural monuments and rock formations. Old border markers and fantastic views from the Schlossberg over Vogelsbüsch back to Büschfeld complement the trail. Between 1920 and 1935, the Sollbach Valley formed the border between …
